Heavenly Heart Island's Predicament

"Master, we previously deduced that the peace in this world would last for at most twenty years." Zhang Yang raised his hand and conjured a map of the world. Pointing to the map, he said to Azure Cloud Master, "This twenty years is just our expectation. It's even possible that there won't be twenty years of peace at all!"

Master, please look, among all the forces in this world, is there any force that is completely different from the others?

Azure Cloud Master's gaze fell upon the map.

Countless sects, kingdoms, and Aristocratic Clan, large and small, have all attached themselves to the top ten sects.

These ten top sects, from north to south, are: Great Snow Mountain, Myriad Spirits Sect, One-Guard Monastery, Azure Cloud Sect, Langya Sacred Land, Return to Origin Temple, Sacred Spirit Church, Cloud Firmament Palace, Sea-Heaven Pavilion, and Heavenly Heart Island.

Numerous forces, large and small, have attached themselves to top-tier sects, forming some unique regions.

Of course, there are also some sects that are sandwiched between several top sects and choose to survive in the cracks, such as the now extinct Vast Mountain Sect.

Besides the ten top sects, the Demon Race, which is located on the edge of Return to Origin Temple and the Sacred Spirit Church, is also close to the Ten Thousand Mountains.

On the other side lies the Cloud Dream Marsh, nestled between the Langya Sacred Land, Cloud Firmament Palace, and One-Guard Monastery.

Of course, there is also the most special Prodigy Battlefield, which is located between the Azure Cloud Sect, Langya Sacred Land, Sacred Spirit Church, Cloud Firmament Palace and Sea-Heaven Pavilion, but it is relatively far from the Azure Cloud Sect.

This is the distribution of power in the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Among all the power distributions, the other forces are intertwined and interdependent.

There was only one force that was separated from the others by a huge distance.

This place is Heavenly Heart Island, isolated from the world!

Azure Cloud Master's gaze turned to Heavenly Heart Island; he had already understood Zhang Yang's meaning.

Without a doubt, Heavenly Heart Island is a place completely different from all other forces.

Zhang Yang also turned his gaze towards Heavenly Heart Island and said in a deep voice, "We can now be fairly certain that the Demon Lord will come again. If the Demon Lord does appear, unless it descends directly upon a major sect like last time, the Demon Lord will definitely roam the world."

At this point, if the Demon Lord insists on finding a base to explore the Prodigy Battlefield, Heavenly Heart Island would be the easiest place to strike.

Because during the attack on Heavenly Heart Island, no matter what level of battle occurred, it would go undetected.

If it were another continent, it would become known very quickly.

Even if the Demon Lord doesn't descend, the world is actually rife with undercurrents, and the balance could be broken at any moment.

Suppose the Myriad Spirits Sect wanted to dominate the world and invited several Tribulation Realm to join forces, could the Heavenly Heart Island's resources withstand such an attack?

Given the vast distance, it's likely that no one would even know if Heavenly Heart Island had been destroyed.

In other words, once the world descends into chaos, Heavenly Heart Island will be many times more dangerous than other major sects.

Especially Yi Lin's own prophecy, if it comes true... Heavenly Heart Island will be far more dangerous than other continents!

Azure Cloud Master nodded slightly and asked, "Since you know Heavenly Heart Island is dangerous, why did you still form an alliance with them? Do you intend to help Heavenly Heart Island?"

"No, no, no!" Zhang Yang shook his head repeatedly. "I have no intention of helping Heavenly Heart Island. Even if we form an alliance, if they encounter danger, we have no chance of supporting them unless we have a significant benefit to offer!"

The reason for forming an alliance now is that the current situation among the top ten sects in the world is two against many, or even possibly two against eight.

Of course, this does not include the Demon Race.

This situation is very unfavorable for both us and the Langya Sacred Land.

However, if we can persuade Heavenly Heart Island to form an alliance, the situation will become three against many, with a maximum of three against seven.

For every ally we gain, we lose one enemy.

If we can achieve a 50/50 split, even if those Demon Lord leave our Azure Cloud Sect twenty years from now, we will be safe."

Zhang Yang approached the map and said with utmost seriousness, "Internally, we forge weapons, enhance the strength of our disciples, and gather countless cultivators in Azure Cloud City; externally, we cultivate allies and continuously enhance the influence of our Azure Cloud Sect; we also use a series of methods to constantly weaken the financial and military strength of other sects..."

However, it is still just a matter of time.

Even after twenty years and exhausting all means, I still cannot produce more Tribulation Realm in the sect.

Once the Demon Lord goes to the Prodigy Battlefield, the strength of our Azure Cloud Sect will decline sharply. Coupled with our wealth, this will give others the incentive to take action.

Therefore, we must take multiple approaches to continuously enhance our strength.

Winning over allies is currently a viable approach.

Heavenly Heart Island allies with us, and we have an alliance of two sects, it will undoubtedly be much easier to win over a fourth sect.

At that time, we will truly have nothing to fear from the world!

Azure Cloud Master stared at the map in deep thought, then suddenly said, "Why don't you and Yi Lin arrange a marriage? Wouldn't it be much easier to form an alliance after that?"

Zhang Yang remained silent.

"Let's forget about it. If we go through with this marriage, we'll be forced to help Heavenly Heart Island when it runs into trouble!" Azure Cloud Master added.

He had just listened to his disciple's analysis and realized that Heavenly Heart Island was in a rather dangerous situation. If it dragged Azure Cloud Sect into the mess, it would be troublesome.

"That's exactly right, but unfortunately we couldn't persuade Yi Lin to agree to the alliance!" Zhang Yang said hurriedly. "She has already gone to another sect, and according to her, she will return to the Azure Cloud Sect again."

"We'll see if there's a chance to win her over again then."

Azure Cloud Master nodded, then turned and went into the Formation Space to cultivate his power.

A tourist route has now been created within the Formation Space.

He wants to test his powers inside, but he'll have to wait until it's not a tourist open day.

Azure Cloud Master expanded his Dao Domain, and instantly the ten Simulated Demon Lords who had cultivated Devil Cultivation Method became incredibly powerful.

What he had to do was to continuously increase the power of these ten Demon Lords, and then use all his power to suppress Demon Lord.

This time, he comprehended the Sword Intent.

Countless Sword Intent relentlessly suppressed the ten Demon Lords.

In the constant clashes between countless Sword Intent and Demon Lord, the power of his Demon-Suppressing Great Dao was continuously strengthened.

The reason he fought the abbot this time without using his Dao Domain was to hone the power of the Demon-Suppressing Great Dao.

When his Demon-Suppressing Great Dao becomes powerful enough to withstand the second Heavenly Tribulation, he can undergo his second Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

His only worry was that these ten Demon Lords had become exceptionally powerful after cultivating Devil Cultivation Method, far surpassing their former strength.

He wasn't confident enough to suppress the Demon Lord.

When he chooses to undergo his second Tribulation Transcendence Realm, the Simulated Demon Lord will naturally become stronger. If he cannot suppress the ten Demon Lords, his Dao Domain will be in serious trouble, and it is even possible that it will directly split into Demon Lord.

Therefore, judging from his strength, he is capable of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

However, judging from the level of the Demon-Suppressing Great Dao, he is far from being ready for his second Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

He still needs to continue to develop and strengthen the Demon-Suppressing Great Dao.

Of course, in his spare time while developing the Demon-Suppressing Great Dao, he also had to help the Immortal-Refining Cauldron refine the Fusion Great Dao.

He's very busy too!
